Surprisingly people in Japan are not the heaviest computer users in Asia. As a matter of fact the ratio of internet users compared to many Asian countries is low. Also, while many Chinese citiizens are english educated most Japanese do not speak english. This creates a huge barrier in terms of internet business or communications as it restricts Japanese people from focusing only in the Japanese market.

Our business culture is designed as such that we focus more on human to human relationship instead of the actual content of the business. You may have noticed that Japanese companies are tied together by a term called "keiretsu". The idea of family and teamwork is more valued than a one man show. This creates problems for people who are very skilled at what they do and choose to do things on their own. Possibly one of the greatest reason why I chose to go my own path.
